Partnerships often begin small, in experimental and limited ways, but when nurtured and supported, they have the potential to grow into something bigger than envisioned. AFCEA was formed in 1946 from several partnerships, all seeking to ensure the new technologies from World War Ⅱ would continue to evolve. As the association grew, it recognized that an educated workforce was key to being technically competitive and prepared, and so in 1979, AFCEA launched its own partnership with education and began what is now known as the AFCEA Educational Foundation. Like many nonprofit partnerships, this one started small, with an initial funding by AFCEA of $29,000. Dr. Jon L. Boyes, Vice Adm., USN (Ret.), who headed up AFCEA at the time, took on leadership of the new organization. From AFCEA's initial investment, the foundation provides approximately $2 million a year in scholarships and grants.

Boyes博士，副总裁，USN（RET。）当时抬起余烬，接受了新组织的领导。 从AFCEA的初始投资中，该基金会每年提供约200万美元的奖学金和补助金。
